Following the development of the pixel-stencil system introduced in Angry Man, Agitación extends the investigation into perception, repetition and image construction at an architectural scale. Installed across more than sixty meters of temporary structures surrounding the renovation of San Joaquín Metro Station in Santiago, the intervention transformed the station itself into a large optical field.
Rather than representing a figure, the work employed repeated bands of colored adhesive tape functioning as a stencil-like system adapted to the geometry of the site. As pedestrians, vehicles and trains moved through the space, the composition generated shifting visual rhythms, moiré-like effects and chromatic interference patterns that constantly altered the viewer’s perception.
Created specifically for a temporary architectural condition, the intervention embraced ephemerality as part of its conceptual framework. The disappearance of the construction barriers inevitably erased the work, reinforcing its relationship with movement, transformation and impermanence.
Operating between urban intervention, kinetic art and architectural adaptation, Agitación marks a transition from figurative image systems toward spatial perception itself as artistic material.
